An independent colour-science studio.
Makers of jcolour, gcolour, and ProofTrack.
一间只做色彩管理的独立工作室。
打造 jcolour、gcolour 与 ProofTrack。
We are a small studio obsessed with one question — how to get the colour you saw to become the colour you print.
From the sensor that captured a frame, to the ink that lands on paper, a photograph passes through a chain of measurements. Every link in that chain has a truthful answer. We build the tools that listen to it.
ColourChecker makes three tools: jcolour for photographers printing their own work, gcolour for proofing rooms and brand-colour teams, and ProofTrack for press operators who need to know what every colour bar is saying.
我们是一间很小的工作室,只想回答一个问题 —— 如何让你看见的颜色,成为你打印出来的颜色。
从传感器捕捉的一帧,到墨水落在纸上,照片要穿过一条由测量构成的链。链上每一环都有可以被验证的答案,我们做的是能听懂这条链的工具。
ColourChecker 做三款工具:jcolour 给亲手打印作品的摄影师,gcolour 给打样工作室与品牌色彩团队,ProofTrack 给印刷车间里需要随时知道色带在说什么的人。

Every pixel we print has a reason. We follow it back to the source.
我们打印出的每一个像素,都有它的依据。我们把它追回到源头。
Instruments, not assumptions. Targets, patches, and paper tell us what the ink and substrate truly do.
用仪器说话,不靠假设。靶、色块、纸张告诉我们墨与承印物究竟在做什么。
A faithful model of how the printer behaves — channel by channel, substrate by substrate, condition by condition.
建立一个忠实于打印机行为的模型 —— 逐通道、逐承印物、逐条件地还原它。
From the image you saw to the drops the printer lays down — without losing the evidence along the way.
从你看到的画面,到机器最终落下的每一滴墨 —— 不在途中丢失任何一条证据。
Nothing is finished until the print has been measured back, and matches.
在打印被重新测回、并且匹配之前,这件事不算结束。
A quiet room for photographers, printing studios, and colour people. Ask, answer, argue honestly. English and 中文 both welcome.
